Monday evening weather forecast

Summer in southeast Texas will begin with a stretch of scorching hot temperatures. A strong ridge of high pressure is going to keep us firmly parked at or above 100 degrees for most of this week. But it's not ALL doom and gloom. A front looks to bring us showers and storms in about a week from now. I wouldn't get too excited about any type of a decrease in temperatures... although we will all welcome some widespread rainfall given the drought situation. Until then, please keep heat and sun safety in mind and abide by burn bans which are in effect in many counties. Tropics remain quiet too so just plan for lots of hot sunshine, and warm humid overnights locally.
